Foreign-born art workers in art and culture institutions
Seminar on Friday 16 May 2019, 9.30 am to 4 pm

How do arts and cultural institutions open their doors to people of different backgrounds not just as audiences, but also as active agents and makers?
In many of the Nordic countries there are ongoing projects, working towards a better inclusion of foreign-born art and cultural workers in the field of art and culture of the society. This seminar gives the participant an opportunity to access results achieved, share best practices and new ideas that can be applied in one’s own line of work or within the organization.
This invitation is for decision makers, artists and cultural workers and those interested to discuss projects dealing with the situation of foreign-born artists and cultural workers in the Nordic countries. A collaboration between Globe Art Point, Hanaholmen, Cupore and Culture for All, the seminar is supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland. The event is part of the #Stophatrednow festival 2019 program.
